3.5/5 ★ – JLevel7's review of Saints Row 2.

Great white buffalo game. Knew a lot of folk back in the day that loved this game and always wanted to try it but knew I’d need to get through the first. As time went on, the jankness only felt more daunting. Yet when I actually played it, I saw why so many had a blast with it. Saints Row 2 is similar. I see why so many have always dug this one. Main character is a straight up sociapath with no redeeming qualities but I suppose that’s the fun in a world full of anarchy. Gameplay feels a bit smoother, some of the questlines hit more than some of the first. Others, less so. But enough that both stand out well in my mind. Didn’t enjoy the soundtrack as much and the customization still feels very limiting, but enough to still be fun. Looking forward to Saints 3. Have always heard that’s the one where the tone and flavor changes and some embraced it whilst others yearned for something closer to where they came from. Awesome to have played this finally. Had a good time.
